SAD-IRON HOLDER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 417,228, dated December 17, 1889.

Application filed March 1, 1889. Serial No. 301,598. (Model-l To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, RHODA A. BURNS, a citizen of the United States, residing at Shrewsbury, in the county of Worcester and State of Massachusetts, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Sad-Iron Holders and I do declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

The invention relates to that class of sadiron holders which are provided with means for cleaning the starch from the bottom of the llOIl.

The invention consists in the particular construction and arrangement of the parts of the sad-iron holder, as hereinafter described, and pointed out in the claim.

Figure 1 is a plan view showing the sandpaper holder swung out from underneath the sad-iron holder. Fig. 2 is a longitudinal vertical section through the two holders closed up so that one is underthe other.

In the drawings, A represents the sad-iron holder, with the legs a a and handle a.

A is a corner projection to the sad-iron provided with four legs 5 holder, the same being vertically perforated at a to receive a stud-pivot Z7, which turns therein, but is fixed in the corner projection B of the sand-paper holder B. The latter is The sand-paper 3 5 holder B has at each side a longitudinal slot 17, these two slots being parallel to each other,

so as to properly receive the sand-paper,whose ends are pierced by the subjacent pointed studs 17 which are at about the longitudinal 40 middle of the part B. By this construction and arrangement of parts the sand-paper holder may be quickly thrown out and the adhering starch quickly taken from the bottom of the sad-iron.

Having thus described all that is necessary to a full understanding of my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to protect by Letters Patent, is-

The combination, with a sad-iron holder .50 having extension A, of the sand-paperholder B, pivoted to said extension and provided with the side slots 19 I), pointed studs 12?, and legs 19 substantially as shown and described.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in 5 5 presence of two witnesses.
